Kasabova Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Касабова, ‘Lednik Kasabova’ \'led-nik ka-'sa-bo-va) is the 6 km long and 3.5 km wide glacier on Davis Coast in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula. Draining the slopes of Mount Bris, Chubra Peak, Sredorek Peak and Chanute Peak in Korten Ridge, the glacier flows northwestwards to enter Orléans Strait at the head of Lanchester Bay.
